Most Wanted Sex Offender from Waco Area Captured in Wisconsin

AUSTIN – Cody James Guzman, one of the Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offenders, was arrested this morning in Wisconsin by the U.S. Marshals Service after a tipster provided information that led authorities to a mobile home in Rock County, Wisconsin. A $3,000 cash reward will be paid to the anonymous tipster through Texas Crime Stoppers.
Armed with the tip, DPS Criminal Investigations Division Agents, DPS Intelligence & Counterterrorism Analysts and the Lone Star Fugitive Taskforce were able gather more information that ultimately led to Guzman’s arrest by the U.S. Marshals Service Badgerland Fugitive Apprehension Squad. The U.S. Marshals Service is expected to file a federal charge for Flight to Avoid Prosecution.
Guzman, 26, was last seen in Moody, near Waco, and was added to the Sex Offender list in January 2012. He is wanted by the McLennan County and Coryell County Sheriff’s offices for Failure to Comply with Sex Offender Registration Requirements. His criminal history includes convictions for Aggravated Sexual Assault, Indecency with a Child, Injury to a Child and Sexual Performance of a Child.
